A community to organize and discuss the growth of the fediverse as a whole
EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:
Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: ()
Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.
If you just created account, if you comment on some subreddit it immediately shadowban you
Promise?
What's a reddit?
Oh, yea, that dumpster fire I walked away from 2 years ago. It still exists?
Sadly, yes.
Not gonna lie, I was only there to encourage people to get off Reddit.
Make sure to wash your eyes afterwards if you’re using the redesign or app.
Old reddit all the way through!
What the fuck is a Reddit?
Some really shitty site. Going downhill day by day. To the point even your typical user is looking for alternatives.

I straight up got my account of 2 years deleted for advertising Lemmy lol, nothing of value was lost that day
RIP ;_;7
They're really trying to repeat the fate of Digg, aren't they? People would advertise the shit out of Reddit in Digg, to encourage users to move. Well - perhaps we should test if history does repeat itself.
Perhaps using this picture instead of writing the link in plain text will help prevent the Reddit bots from detecting that one is recommending Lemmy there:
if that's the captcha to get in... i'm out.
Oh, no, I should have explained! That's something to help post the link hopefully without the Reddit bots detecting it. I've edited the post.
We need to figure out a way to recruit with to out outright posting it there.
Text as pictures, word-of-mouth, bugging people in Youtube referring to Reddit to use Lemmy instead, coded languages...
The XFCE logo social media site.
goto twitter subreddits and post memes from mastodon
Minus the "giving reddit more new content" part, this is a great idea
it's the whole reason "screenshot of a social media post" exists in the first place
and yeah, I sure as shit would never post there again, just putting the idea out there.
youtube
I am far from elitist in most anything I do or say. I try to be inclusive when introducing others to a topic, offer information freely and at any pace they can accept it, and generally enjoy the most mundane parts of life so long as they’re done in a healthy way. I say all of that to preface the fact that I cannot tolerate most users on YouTube. They're, by and large, just awful.
I do agree with your idea, but it physically hurts me to envision lemmy with YouTube comments.
I moderate r/spezholedesign and have set up AutoModerator to promote Lemmy on all posts. I have made a post directly linking to lemmy.world and nothing has happened. I've never gotten shadowbanned or suspended
I have no idea why I was shadowbanned and you weren't, then. Perhaps account age and/or karma had a role? (My account was five days old, and barely any karma.)
thats why, it was too new. reddit is very hostile to new accounts, simply thier filters assume people are a potential bot/spammer, if they havnt been on the site that long. thats why people even using some proxies, anti-detect browsers get banned asap. also commenting on a sub, that auto removes your comments, for not having enough "karma or aged account" also flags your account. the question is, is visiting a sub you were previously banned in without commenting, will that also trigger some kind of flag? (i think so), if you notice they already have gone through at least 3 major purges in the last 3 months(of "bots/spammer/evaders) i was on the recieving end of the 3rd one. it was definitely noticable in DEC, as thier were less bots ragebaiting people.
That's probably the reason. My account is 1y 4m old and has 32K Karma. They don't ban high karma users that fast since it would sharply reduce the content on the site.
Got shadow banned years ago for sharing the link to the εxodus privacy analysis of the Reddit app. There is a reason why they keep trying to pressure their users to use their app. It's farming their personal data.
Can you link it here? I've never heard of this analysis
"Send Local IP, device_fingerprint_id, identity_id, hardware_id, brand, model, screen_dpi, screen_height and other
Increase mobile revenue with enterprise-grade links built to acquire, engage, and measure across all devices, channels, and platforms."
Branch analytics seems severely invasive of your privacy. I have always used infinity for Reddit. It's maybe not as bad as this. I looked it up and it does have a tracker but not this one. Damn!
a dedicated anti-detect browsers eliminates reddit from identifying you, for the most part(plus if you use proxies as well)
You can't save them. Whoever is willing and mentally agile enough to look for alternatives will find us. Honestly, at this point, I'd be glad if especially the folks commenting on Reddit's mainstream subs did not join Lemmy and capture it with their boring, antiquated, views and extremely repetitive quips.
i think it takes get permabanned to actually come here, they are addicted to reddit, simply because of all the trump trash worldnews/political post there, and news is like a narcotic, because these 2 genre, and adjacent subs are almost always on the front page. even the salty r/conservative is on the front page alot. the permaban people that are constantly evading bans are usually the ones trying to earn a living through OF, or advertising by posting en masse, usually with the help of privacy browsers, proxies, new devices,,etc. funny how reddit is only going after them any evader aggressively, but doing nothing about the troll farm bots.
That's interesting. I haven't been banned for mentioning r/RedditAlternatives yet. I'm honestly shocked that sub still exists.
Where Is the shadow part of the ban?
it means nobody can see your comments or posts, its the result of a redditor that was making multiple accounts and evading bans 10+years ago. it tricks you into thinking you "arnt banned, or comments removed" this way reddit doesnt advertise to the bots, user that they are banned.
left side: logged in. exists.
right side: private window, not logged in. does not exist.
It's just like adarza said.
Left: logged in. My own activity is shown.
Center: logged out, old reddit. It claims that the user doesn't exist.
Right: logged out, new reddit. It claims that the user was suspended.
